TC Electronic Launches G-Natural, Effects System For Acoustic Guitar [ Musikmesse 2007 ]
G-Natural houses a suite of high quality effects fine-tuned for acoustic guitar. It features compression, 3-band parametric EQ, boost and modulation effects such as chorus, detune, thicken and panner. It also features time-based effects such as reverb and delay.
With both a built-in mic preamp and standard instrument inputs, players can choose between a piezo and a pickup system or miking their guitar with a condenser mic. The Mix function on G-Natural enables players to go one step further, mixing both signals inside the unit to get the optimal representation of their guitar sound.
G-Natural comes with 99 factory presets optimized for a wide variety of musical genres and playing styles. The 99 user-customizable settings allow instrumentalists to add a personal touch to the effects and thus create their own sounds.
G-Natural’s mic pre can also be used for vocal performance. Putting G-Natural in song mode automatically gives users a vocal strip EQ and reverb block. The reverb can be bypassed via a footswitch to avoid unwanted effects when addressing an audience.
Topping an already packed feature list, a built-in tuner, digital I/O, expression pedal input and MIDI, make G-Natural a well-rounded package for the serious acoustic guitar player or singer/songwriter.
